Before and after: a chipped, rust-stained bath around the plughole

What we’re called out for in Cossington

Acrylic baths that crack nearly always have a support problem. Legs that aren’t adjusted, a missing cradle or a soft floor let the bath move.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A hole punched through by something heavy
  • Rust spots around the plughole
  • A kit repair that didn’t last
  • Chips on the rim or sides

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
  2. We clean, key and degrease the damage.
  3. Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
  4. We match both the colour and the shine.
  5. We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
  • Avoid scourers, wire wool and gritty cream cleaners
  • Give the bath a quick rinse after use
  • Get a dripping tap fixed promptly

Use gentle, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy items on the repaired area. Deal with new chips early, before rust can start.

Rust spreads under enamel faster than most people expect. Left for months, a small chip can grow into a large rust patch, so it pays to deal with it early.

What bath repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Cossington questions

Can rust on a bath be repaired?

Yes, very frequently. The rust is cut back to clean metal and sealed before we fill and finish it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you come to Cossington?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cossington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for bath repair in Cossington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How invisible is a bath repair?

The goal is a repair that blends in. How well it disappears depends on the condition of the rest of the bath, and we will tell you what to expect.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Cossington

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath costs more than the bath itself: removal and disposal, plumbing, a new panel, tiling and decorating. With a repair, it’s one visit and one price. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Rust that has eaten right through a steel bath
  • A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
  • Water coming from the waste or taps rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
